After victory shall have crowned our efforts, the party cannot say, as they did when Mr. Saight was beaten by our present Go vernor, that they " ran the weakest man they had."

Alvorfi, and after paying a handsome tribute to his ma ny virtues, the usual Resolutions were adopted, and the House immediately adjourned. In the Senate, the Committee on Finance reported without amendment, the bill to provide for the collec tion, safe-keeping! and transfer of the public moneys, and the bill more effectually to secure the public mo neys, and for the punishment of defaulters, with an a mendment ; and Mr. Wright said, that on that day week he would call them up for 'consideration.

A late number, of the l Silk Journal," in speaking of the causes which have produced a sort of panic in the public mind, with regard to the Silk business, as .We allude to the period when we signs as one of thje principal, the injudicious proceed were both striving, with all our might, to defeat-Gen Jacksox for the Presidency, and joined heartily in the prediction of our ally of the " Richmond. Enquirer,' that " his election woulTbe a crass to the country. We should think this bitter opposition to the " Old Hero," together with the fact, that he voted for Mr. Crawfohd in the House of Representatives, after his State had gone for Gen. Jacksox and the additional fact, that next to Crawford he preferred Adams would not sit well on the stomachs of some who are now caUed"upbn toupp5thfiri. 'TJnTess, indeed, his sub sequent devotion to the Chief has atoned for it a de votion so profound, as to induce huA to sanction all his exterminating intentions towards tile N unifiers a party , whose support he now calculates on, and for whose fealty, we are informed, some member of the Convention vouched. We say, this nomination might have gone down with us once ; but that day has passed. We believe the vessel of State is in danger. We do not intend to fold our arms and go resigned to the bot tom, but shall rouse all our energies to meet the crisis. " Of one thing we are absolutely certain, if Judge Sauit- xers is elected, it will not be owing to the strength of his party, or his own personal popularity, but to the apathy and remissness of the Whigs a reproach which they will never suffer, so long as they can boast of so gallant a leader as' Johr M. Moresead, MR. CALHOUN. Our Correspondent, ; " A NoxirriRR," handles his quondam Maoitvs Apollo without gloves; but if any one has a right to do so, he has. We know that he was, formerly, one off the most faithful and devoted po litical friends of the South Carolina Senator, and look ed up to him as his great leader and exemplar. He can say, in the eloquent language of his gallant friend, Ratxer, "time once wasj when clouds and darkness hung upon her (South-Carolina) borders, that, the sound of the first gun would have been the signal- for .my departure, and the first drop of blood would have cemented my destiny to hcr's for weal or for woe ; with her, I would have marched on to victory and to glory, or else I would have bleached her hills with my bones." SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER) We have received a Specimen sheet of the forth coming Number of the Messenger, and it isi certainly, one of the handsomest specimens of Typography we have ever seen. It was before unique in the neatness of its appearance, and seemed hardly susceptible of im provement ; but the new and costly dress which it has now put on, does add, sensibly, to its good looks, and places it without a rival in point of mere mechanical -execution. A8 regards its more souf qualities, we re fer the reader to a Card in this paper from its industri ous and persevering Editor, and venture to express the hope that the attractive Bill of Fare which he presents, r will draw many guests to his Literary banquet. ; ings of growers and speculators, in employing numerous Ag-ents to sell for them. The Editor mentions one might be condensed to advantage, and produced a sub stitute; which being read, Mr. Grundy moved that both propositions be refer red as he had proposed. Mr. Preston was averse to acting prospectively and hypothetically,on this subject, and he was more espe cially so, after hearing the remarks of the mover yes terday. He had understood, from what was said, that some of the States were supposed tabe contemplating an application to Congress of this kind. Mr. P. did not believe that any such attempt would . be made. And it would be time enough to consider the subject, when the attention of Congress should be called to it. He therefore moyedv to lay the Resolutions on the ta ble. The Yeas and Nays being called on this ques tion, it was negatived 25 votes to 15. So the Resolu tions were referred as proposed. The Senate! then proceeded to consider the bill pro viding for the occupation of Florida by collections of armed settlers.' The bill was advocated by Mr. Ben ton, and opposed by Messrs.

The "Richmond Enquirer" states that this gentle man does not hesitate to express his determination to support Gen. Harrisox. . ation for the support of Government, was considered and passed. Several pension bills were also introduced. Mr. King, from the Committee on Commerce, to whom was referred Geor e Taylor's memorial ir rela tion to property taken by the French, prior to the year 1800, moved to be discharged from the consideration, and that it be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Benton called up the resolution which he offer ed some days since, in relation to the assumption of fetate debts, on which he spoke for two hours. Mr. Grundy proposed a division of the question; Mr. Lumpkin, after some remarks in favor of the resolu tion, moved to lay it on the table for the presentjwhich motion was asjresd to. ' A message was received from the President in rela- to the employment of Steam vessels in the Revenue Service. A number of mfmorials were presented, arhongst which was one by Mr. Clay, from residents of Miss ouri, asking for a liberal grant of land in the Oregon Territory, and proper protection. Mr. Clay said the memorial was well drawn, and stated the question fairly. He was not prepared to approve the doctrine, but hoped Congress would express some opinion up on it. Such was the hardy character of our -Western Countrymen for the improvement of lands and better ing their fortunes, that they should receive some sup port and protection. ' The Vice-President presented a memorial from the Legislative Council of Iowa, praying for a settlement of the contested boundary-line between that Territory and Missouri. Mr. Linn, after explaining the difficul ty which existed, and referring to former applications to Congress, moved that the Report of the U. S.Com- missioncrs and other papers, be referred to the Judicia ry Committee, which was agreed to. IRON STEAM BOATS. We find in Niles's Register of the 30th ult. an ar ticle copied from a London paper, recommending Iron Steam Boats in preference to Wooden ones, for the lollowmg very weighty reasons, viz: The cost of an Iron Boat is from 15 to 20 per cent cheaper ; the .capacity is much greater than a wood boat of the same dimensions, in consequence of thie less space occupied by the materials ; the weight (which seems strange,) is not more than two-thirds of a wood en vessel of the same size, and will therefore require less Engine power and less fuel ; it is perfectly secure rrom accidents by nre ; it asm less danger from spong ing a leak, or from running aground an iron vessel striking a rock might suffer an indentation, but noth- ing more, whilst a similar accident would probably sink a wooden one. The danger from lightning in an iron vessel is greatly diminished, as the whole body of the boat is a conductor of Electricity. In tropical climates, the iron vessels have a great advantage, as the worms, whichvare so destructive to wood, could not affect iron. Another valuable quality in iron vessels is, they are dj The Bank of the United States of Pennsylvania has declined making any Dividend upon its Stock, at the end of the half year which has just closed. . WAR DEPARTMENT. The Report of the Secretary of War to the Presi dent, and by him communicated to Congress, recom mends a new organization of the Militia, and adopts the following classification: ' "The United States to be divided into eight military districts each district to have an active force of 12,- 500, and an equal number of reserve, the total making 200,000. These troops to be throughly drilled, and continue eight years in service -four in active service, and four m the reserve: at the expiration oi eight years to be exempt from militia duty, except in cases of in vasion or imminent peril. One-fourth of the active to pass annually into, the reserve, and new recruits to sup ply then place. One-fourth to retire annually from ser vice. This corps is to be embodied as the National Guard, and receive pay, and will constitue one-seventh the militia of the Union. The other six-sevenths will have no military duty to perform, only to be mustered at long and stated intervals. ; , i THE STATES. MASSACHUSETTS. The Legislature of this State assembled on Wednes day week. Daniel P. King was elected President of the Senate, and Robert C. Winthrop, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Both the gentlemen are Whigs, maugre the predictions of the Loco Foco Press. With regard to the Governor's Election, the latest rumor is, that Morton is elected by fou votes. MARYLAND. The Legislature of this State is also in session. Gov. Grason's Message is said to be an admirable business paper, and worthy of imitation in confining its remarks to State concerns .exclusively.

A bill to provide against the future suspension of Specie Pay ments by any Banks in the State was lost in the Senate by a vote of 17 to 13. W. F. Colcbck was chosen Superintendent of Public Works, by 62 votes ito 59 for D. Douglass. - - ; j ATTORNEY GENERAL U.S. ? It has been currently reported, for several days here, that Judge StranoR was to receive the appointment of Attorney General of the United States. The "Rich mond Enquirer," of the 1 1th inst, states that Mr. Gil (Solicitor of the Treasury,) has been nominated. Washisgtox, J inuikt 9. Immediately after the Journal was read, yesterday, Mr. Campbell, Chairman of the Committee of Elec tions, offered a Resolution to the House proposing that all the papers and testimony in possession of that body in relation to the late election in New Jersey, be refer red to the Committee of Elections, with instructions to enquire and report who are entitled to occupy the five contested seats from that State; and thata copy of his Resolution be served on each of the persons claiming to have been elected Representatives. Mr. Bell said, he could probably relieve the gentle- man from S. Carolina from the necessity of offering. these Resolutions, by a privileged motion. He then went on to state, that he understood that the five per sons who claimed seats from the Certificate of the Seer rctoijr uf &tac of N w Jersey : c In n. ttcuilctllce an j members, with their names written on their desks, using the franking privilege, stationery, &c. He there fore moved that the question be taken up, and that the Speaker either qualify these gentlemen, or that the House take proper order about them. , The Chair said, if the five gentlemen who claimed seats from N.Jersey would come forward and claim to be sworn, the Chair would consider it to be his duty first to decide that question; but he was not of opinion that the mere question of a contested election was a matter of privilege. Mr. Rice Garland enquired, assuming the position of the Chair to be correct, how the gentleman from S. Ca rolina came to present his proposition, or what the House had to do with it 1 J Mr. Campbell replied, that it was well known thit New Jersey was entitled to have six members, on this floor, and she had now but one. He thought it his duty, therefore, as Chairman of the Committee of Elec tions, to bring forward the proposition which he had moved. Mr. Pope said, he had thought this morning of en quiring whether New Jersey was a member of this Con federacy, and whether she could be made to contribute to the support of the Government while she was denied her representation here 1 He hoped the Chair would reconsider his decision. He had no doubt the ques tion was a privileged one. He said he had himself prepared Resolutions for bringing the subject before the House, which were read. The debate occupied the whole of the remainder of the day, without coming to a decision. In the course of which,. Mr. Adams suggested that a preliminary question was necessary a Resolution ought to be moved, directing the Speaker to inform the Governor of New Jersey that the Commission given by him to the five members, had been rejected by 'this House, in doing which in his opinion the authority of a sovereign State had been trampled upon. In the Senate, Mr. Clay, of Alabama, reported a bill for the graduation and reduction of the price of the pub lic lands, with amendments. Mr. W alker, a bill au thorising the President to cause the Lead mines in Mis souri, to be sold. By Mr. Linn, a bill to allow a draw bank on goods exported to Mexico, to protect Indian trade, &c. and by Mr. Tappan, a bill to provide for the defence of the Western borders of the States of Arkansas and Missouri Mr. Benton's Resolutions on the Assumption of State Debts, were again taken up, when Mr. Grundy moved their reference to a Committee of seven. Mr. Lumpkin said, he most cordially concurred in the sentiments of the Resolutions ; but thought they To-day, after the Journal of the House was read and corrected, Mr. Cooper, of Pennsylvania, desired to of fer a Resolution, calling on the Postmaster-General to communicate the late arrangement made by him for the transportation of the mail between Philadelphia and Washington City;, over what route it was carried; whether the distance is greater or less than under the former arrangement ; whether the time required for its transportation has been increased or diminished; wheth er the communication between New York and Boston, and the South and South-west has been facilitated or retarded; and whether the price paid has been increas ed or dimiiiished. And whereas it is alleged, to the great discredit of the Government, that the Eastern Mail has' been clandestinely and fraudulently transmit ted by the Agents of the Post-office! from Philadelphia to Baltimore by the cars of the Railroad Company, notwithstanding the Postmaster-General had tuscon tinued his contract with the Company, resolved that the Postmaster-General state, whether it be true, as al leged, that such fraud has been committed ; and if so, whether any Agent concerned 'therein has- been dis-charsjeih-with a full statement of all the facts. . The above Resolution being disposed of, Mr. Dun can claimed a preference on the New Jersey Election question, and spoke till near 3 o'clock. Mr. Botts, of Va. then took the floor; but yielding to a manifest dis position in the House to adjourn, he gave way, and made the necessary motion for adjournment, which was several times withdrawn and renewed, to refer to sun dry Committee the Report of the Secretary of War ; and also to take up the Senate bills on the Speaker's table. The Senate to-day, passed to a third reading, the bill for the armed occupation of Florida, which grants to 10,000 armed settlers, 320 acres of land each. Wishixgto, January 11. The first business which engaged the attention of the House yesterday, was the reading of several bills on the Speaker s table received from the Senate. That making appropriations for removing the Raft in Red River being twice read, motions were made to refer it to three'several Committees, viz : the Commit tee on Roads and Canals, the Committee on Commerce and the Committee of Ways and Means. After erriSe debate, a motion was made to lay the bill on the table ; but the question being taken, the House refused to take this course. Some further de bate then took place, and the further consideration of the bill was postponed till to-morrow. Mr. Abbott Lawrence presented a petition from A- mcrican merchants settled at Canton, in China, in re lation to the great interruptions which had taken place there, and the consequent danger to which their lives and property are exposed, and praying for a naval force for their protection, which was referred to the Commit teeton Foreign Relations. Mr. Hoffman rose and stated that the report of the Committee on the Rules of the House had been made the special order for that day at 1 o'clock. But he un derstood the rules had only just been printed, and that a proposition would be made to extend the time of consideration till to-morrow, On motion of Mr. Cave Johnson, this subject was postponed to Tuesday next, and the present rules were ordered to continue in force till Tuesday next. Mr. Botts, of Va., (who was entitled to the floor on the New Jersey Election question) rose and spoke at great. length on the subject generally. After Mr. B. had eona Jtpi urar address, Mr. Randolph, of N. Jersey rose, and was about to speak, when Mr. Monroe, of New York, claimed the floor on the ground that Mr. R. had several times been heard on this question. The Chair reminded Mr. M. that though Mr. Ran dolph had repeatedly spoken on the N. Jersey Elec tion question, it had not been on the Resolution now under discussion. Mr. Randolph being allowed to proceed, he went fully into the history of the contested Election, quoting sundry documents, and calling for the reading of seve ral affidavits, until past 4 o'clock, when a motion was made to adjourn, and negatived by Yeas and Nays 1 04, to 64. After Mr. R. had continued his Address some time longer, another motion for adjournment was made and rejected, 67 to 56. Mr.- R. continued to speak and read documents for some time, when much uneasiness being manifested, an other motion to adjounr, was made, and carried 67 to 56. ICr" We have already informed our read ers of the disagreemenjt between the P. M. General and the Baltimore and Philadelphia Rail Road Company touching the transporta tion of the mail. The sum offered by the Department not being deemed adequate by the Company, the Post Master General, as we have already stated, put the mail on the line of Rail Road connecting the cities by the way of Lancaster and York. This is a circuitous route, but, starting at 1 o'clock, A. M., the mail is brought to Baltimore, when no deten tion takes plaeej about as early as it used to arrive by the direct route. There have been repeated failures, however, and much discon tent is expressed every where at the derange ment of the mails consequent on this state of Wia"1-;--1 v - In his anxiety to reparole evil we are sor ry to say the P. M. Genefhas fallen upon a device, which we think in the highest de gree disreputable and unworthy the govern ment ot the United States. He has directed the letter mail to be brought on in a large trunk, which is claimed by one of his offi cials as luggage. The .plan succeeded for a day or two, but the agent in Philadelphia having his suspicions excited, on seeing a Post office attache, with a large trunk, about to take his seat, refused him a passage Unless he would sav the trunk did not contain anv portion of the mail. 'This he would not do, and he, with his trunk, was left behind. The moral sense of the people will revolt at this species of smuggling. It has given rise to much animadversion, and we have seen no defence of the measure. , jr. o. oince me aoove was in tvne, we have received the Globe, of Tuesday, which defends the measure and 'gives the P. M. General credit for the device. Fredericksburg Arena.

Extract of a letter, dated "Richmond Corxsr, Dec. 23,, 1839. .. "Since the result of the Harnsburg Convention has been known, I have seen several of our most intelligent Whigs from different parts of this county. A more perfect unit I have never seen than now exists with the Whigs of Richmond.

January 10, . 5 5t A r ARC LITERARY MESSENGER. T. W. White, respectfully informs the patrons of the " Southern Literary Messenger" and the pub lic generally, that the issue of the next No. of that pe riodical is necessarily delayed beyond the usual tme of publication. The recent holidays, and a damage which has occured to the ptess on which the Messen ger is struck off, has retarded the business of his office. He would further mention, that the publishing of an important essay upon the " Rights of the Slave hold- . ing States, and the owners of slave property, under the Constitution of the United States," from the pen of Conway Robinson, Esq of this city, has also post poned the appearance of the Messenger. He believes, however, that the value and interest of this paper will fully atone for the delay. Being anxious to present the whole essay at the same time to the public, and a ware that the issue of his periodical would be late for the month of January, he has concluded to publish the January and February numbers together His patrons will, therefore, receive a double number, or the num-A ber for two months under one cover. The publisher flatters himself, that both in typographical and literary excellence, the two coming numbers will equal, if not exceed, any that he has ever given to the public. Beside? the important essay already mentioned, and which possesses such a peculiar interest at the present time, they will contain a notice f the recent attack upon Dr. Charming, in the Edinburg Review, from the pen of a Baltimorean. A second paper upon the Smithsonian institute. San Marino, from the pen of H. T. Tuckerman, Esq. ; The Worthies of Virginia ; Gleanings from New England History ; Right of Au thors ; Moral and Mental Portraits, No. I, being a. no tice of William Cullen Bryant; Isabelle De Castros, a , tale of Spanish Romance : a humorous story, entitled Mrs. Shooter's Party ; a sketch of the character of Lord Byron ; An Incident of the War of 1812-14 a true story ; Simms' Early Lays, No. II ; Reminis cences of the British at Bollingbrook j Homines Apud Infernos ; a poetical article, entitled Invivor the .Bride of the fallen Star ; and an elaborate and critical notice of Murray's Travels, from the pen of an accomplished scholar ; Interesting Sketch of Canova, translated from the Italian, by M.
